  • Let Them – Releasing What Isn’t Yours

    Let Them – Releasing What Isn’t Yours
    Jan 23 2026

    🌉 BRIDGING THE GAP – S.2 E.36: ⁠https://youtu.be/R9dPt0iL9-k⁠⁠

    Let Them – Releasing What Isn’t Yours

    ✨ “Let them be who they are, so you can reclaim who you are.”

    🧠 Neuroscience & Nervous System Release

    🔄 Research shows trying to control others’ actions strongly activates our stress networks and depletes mental energy. 🧠 Polyvagal theory: When we attempt to manage or micromanage others, we remain in high sympathetic or dorsal vagal states; release opens access to ventral-vagal safety and social connection.🌍 By saying “Let Them” we signal to our nervous system: “I release control of their behaviour; I manage my response.” This trains the brain to focus on what we can regulate—our own internal state.

    🌬️ Somatic Practice & Breath

    🌱 Inhale a peaceful space. Exhale control, let it go.🔂 Use a 4-in, 6-out breath cycle when you feel yourself trying to steer someone else’s behaviour.🌀 Place a hand on your belly or chest, notice the tension of wanting to fix someone. Allow the breath to soften that impulse and remind your body: I cannot control them, only me.

    ❤️ Mind & Heart Integration

    🌊 This week: When someone’s reaction activates/triggers you, pause, breathe, and say inwardly: “Let Them choose. I choose my response.” It does not have to be immediate, you can also come back.🛤 Practice in 1 relationship or situation where you typically feel responsible for others’ feelings/actions.🔗 Each moment of letting go rewires your brain toward freedom, your nervous system toward regulation, and your heart toward peace.

  • A Special Thanksgiving Episode Rooted in Love Present in the Moment

    A Special Thanksgiving Episode Rooted in Love Present in the Moment
    Dec 12 2025
    🌉 BRIDGING THE GAP –5 min Mindful Somatic Breathing Practice🌾 Episode 34.5 - A Special Thanksgiving Episode: Rooted in Love, Present in the Moment: ⁠https://youtu.be/oqksrRcYm-w⁠ 🧩 Connection in Challenging Spaces: Holidays have a way of bringing us into rooms filled with history, expectations, opinions, and rhythms that don’t always match our own. So before you enter those spaces or before you welcome others into yours pause for a moment.✨ What does connection look like … when emotions run high?✨ How can compassion guide us … when views differ?✨ What does it mean to be rooted in love … even when the room feels uneven?Today’s practice is your gentle reminder that we can choose presence… even when the moment is complex.We can offer thanks… even while navigating tension. And we can create repair even when we momentarily rupture. This is an invitation to show up with clarity and stay grounded in who you are not who others expect you to be.🧠 The Brain’s Path Back to SafetyThe holiday table often brings familiar patterns: old roles, unspoken expectations, and the feeling of being pulled into emotional currents we didn’t choose.Your brain remembers these patterns but here's the good news:🌿 Every moment is a chance to create a new pathway.When something is said that dysregulates you…When someone’s tone feels sharp…When a comment triggers old wounds…When differences of opinion become tension…Your brain can choose a new direction.And each time you choose regulation over reaction, that pathway grows stronger.This is how we become anchored in ourselves, not in the past.🌬️ A Centering Pause Before You Step InLet’s take a slow breath together.Inhale for 4: Welcome in steadiness.Hold for 2: Feel your feet on the ground.Exhale for 6: Release the expectations that don’t belong to you.Again.Inhale: receive what supports you.Exhale: let go of what you cannot control.Now bring one hand to your chest, one to your belly. Feel your own warmth. Feel your own rhythm.If something happens that shakes your center, return to this moment:And if needed, say softly to yourself or aloud:“Let’s pause. This conversation matters. Let’s come back to it when we can meet each other with care.”❤️ Heart & Mind: Rooted in Love, Present in the Now💛 If a moment feels overwhelming:You’re allowed to pause.You’re allowed to reset.💛 If someone else feels overwhelmed:You can offer a landing:“You matter. Let’s give this space. We can return when we’re ready.” Then offer another time. 💛 If your thoughts drift to past hurts or future worries:Gently return to the gift of the present, this breath, this moment, this connection.Concerns are valid.Differences are real.Presence is the priority.🕯️ Mindful Thanksgiving Wish“On this day of gratitude, may we remember, whether near or far:that every person carries a story we don’t fully know,that love grows strongest in moments of gentle understanding,and that the greatest gift is not perfection, but presence.May we give thanks for all the people that have touched our lives,in our ease and in our complexity and may we meet each other with compassion, curiosity,and the quiet hope that connection is always at the forefront.”#RootedInLove #GentlePresence #CompassionOverConflict #BridgingTheGap👉 SUBSCRIBE: Bridging the Gap (5 min Breathing Meditation)📺 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/Mediastarllc2003🌐 CARE Website: https://mediastarllc.wixsite.com/CARE🎧 Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6cCOFTpc2CMOcTpQvOUjjr?si=e62a7d06283e4c3b🍎 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bridging-the-gap/id1833703512📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/connected_rooted🎬 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bridging.the_gap📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ConnectedAndRootedEverywhere
